You can use this form to tell us the names and addresses of all pupils of compulsory school age who have been absent for a continuous period of 10 school days. Their absence must have been recorded with one or more of the statically classified codes as unauthorised (G, N, O and/or U).
You only need to make an attendance return once for each episode of an unauthorised period of absence.
You must fill in a new form if the child returns to school and then has another 10 continuous days of unauthorised absence.
You can report one child per form. You must complete a new form for each child.
Before you start
You'll need:
- details of the unauthorised absence
- your details
- details of the child
- the child’s Unique Pupil Number (UPN)
- where the child lives
- who the child lives with (this is usually the child’s parent)
- whether the child has any siblings of school age
- the child’s emergency contact details
- the attempts you have made to find the child
- any known safety issues for lone working staff
